With me wanting to get more fish in my diet I have been keeping an eye out for new dishes and not too long ago I came across this recipe for cod wrapped in crispy potatoes on Kalofagus which caught my eye. I liked the idea of fish wrapped in crispy potatoes, I mean you really cannot go wrong with crispy fried potatoes! In fact this dish immediately made me think about fish n chips where instead of being fish in a crispy deep fried batter with a side of fries you roll them into one to get the best of both worlds and it has the added bonus of being a bit healthier as well!

I very often like to use capers and lemon with fish and this dish has both covered by placing a lemony caper sauce in between the fish and the potato wrapping. Another flavour that I often like like to include with the capers and lemon is dill so I tweaked the recipe a bit by using a bunch of dill in the sauce.

Wrapping the fish in the layer of potatoes can by a little tricky but once you get the hang of it, it is pretty easy. First you need to slice the potatoes very thinly and a mandolin comes in really handy here. Next you need to cook the potatoes in oil until they soften up enough that you can bend them to wrap them around the fish. When you are ready to wrap the fish in the potatoes you want to lay the potatoes out on your working surface in such a way that they overlap each a bit on the sides and interlace on the ends.

Going through the trouble of wrapping the fish in the potato slices was definitely worth it as the final product is fantastic! The potato wrapping does get nice and crispy and when you bite through it you get hit by the amazingly fresh and tasty dill and caper sauce only then to finally hit soft and juicy inner fish layer. Since the local asparagus is still readily available I served the cod wrapped in crispy potatoes on a bed of asparagus and I fried up a few lemon slices as well. Feel free to serve some of the extra dill and caper sauce on the side to smother the asparagus in!

My husband absolutely refuses to eat fish (which is silly since he chose it for our wedding dinner), so is this something that I might be able to do with chicken? Like chicken tenders or maybe if I butterflied the chicken?

Awesome recipe! I hacked it because I had no big potatoes, but I had parsley and wild-caught cod. I layered the ingredients in large ramekins, with potatoes top and bottom, brushing the top layer of potatoes with olive oil. I left out the dill because it's not in season and my family isn't as fond of it as I am. I baked them at 375 for about half an hour. They were pronounced fantastic by my family -- total win! Thanks so much for the inspiration.

When I saw it I fell in love with the dish and prepared it! the potatoes were so hard to make but managed to do something similar to you (not as pretty) I had such a hard time slicing and frying the potatoes but it was so delicious and it turned out so well that it was so worth it!!! great dish and excellent choice of ingredients for the sauce! my favorite definitely

Kevin, have you ever considered making short videos of some of your recipes? This one would be a great candidate. I can't even wrap my head around the idea of intertwining potatoes around the fish. Also, your blog is FANTASTIC. Everything looks so lovely and delicious!

Oh my bejesus! This was incrediably good! I followed the recipe exactly. I did double the recipe for four servings. This is a fantastic dish to make for company. It makes a great presentation. The best way I found to slice the potatoes this thin and was with a mandolin. The Dill and Caper Sauce was spot on! We LOVED IT! We had asparagus twice in the past week so I served Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts instead. Hubby raved about this dish!! Woo Hoo thank you Kevin! We will definitely keep this one! I'm sure it will be made often. /HUG
